Brensocatib timetable to market

Posted by spider109 @spider109, Mar 4 9:09am

I recently googled Brensocatib, and found that the FDA has announced that it has a Precription Date User fee date of August 12, 2025. Now the only information I could find as to what that is, it allows the FDA can then collect money from the manufacturer (Insmed) to begin the approval process. Does anyone know if this is right? Furthermore I wonder if anyone knows possibly how long after the FDA collects their fee, would it take to get to patients with Bronchiectasis in this country and around the world. I know this is possibly the ONLY treatment specifically for Bronchiectasis, and I for one am anxious to possibly try it. Thank-you.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the MAC & Bronchiectasis Support Group.

I just had a visit with my pulmonologist who is a BE/NTM and at a major research hospital and he said that it is scheduled to be released to patients 8/12. The promotional pre roll-out materials are being distributed, so it seems to be a sure thing.

Sounds like your pulmonologist is on top of new information etc.
I have given thought to pulmonologists and other medical doctors/fields as compared to say teacher who have to go back to school or teacher training classes every so many years, the same with realtors, and wondering if doctors have to do the same.....That would surely have given more pulmonologists a better understanding of what is best to tell their Bronchiectasis patients all they should know as a patient and use as a patient, etc., such as airway clearance techniques etc.
If you don't mind my being inquisitive, what research hospital are you referring to?

Do you know if there are certain requirements to be eligible to take it? I have heard some people say you had to have a certain number of exacerbations/year.

Thanks! Deb

I see Dr. Ashwin Basavaraj at NYU (NY University). Prior to seeing him I was under the care of a local pulmonologist who diagnosed me with MAC by bronchoscopy, gave me a flutter device (not Aerobika) and said I should use it, but with no instruction, no nebulizing etc.

Doctors that are affiliated with research hospitals are much more up to date with info in the field and given opportunity to engage in research. Also the coordination of care, from labwork to imaging to the doctor makes such a difference.

Best of luck and health to you!
